Made a comment a few weeks back about this, but it probably wasn't in the most appropriate thread, so I'll repeat the issues that I perceive as problems in the newest incarnation of the search results pages (including New Videos/Downloads). Much of this can be corrected with a few adjustments to the style sheets used.

In the "new downloads" listings, the series that are marked as spoilers use color #006699, which is a sort of teal, not red as the top of the page claims is should be (though only in the new downloads/videos pages; the super search simple says 'colored anime'). This comes from the panelsSpoilersColor class in /skins/1/css/panels.css file. Aside from not matching what it supposedly is supposed to be, teal is a very non-descript color and doesn't really make it easy to spot the spoiler entries.
Further, you underline the words "Direct", "indirect" and "NO" when they're hovered over, but there's no link attached to them. The underlining gives the false impression that you should be able to click on that directly. And of course, it's odd to have those set of distinctions in a mish-mash of case conditions.
On the other hand, the parenthetical number after the direct/indirect notation -is- a link, which apparently just takes you to the link problems page. Aside from being a small and difficult to target link, I'm not sure what the point of that is. There's nothing on the page to indicate that that link is significant, or why some are bolded and some are not. Oh, and what's the number attached to it supposed to mean?
And finally, there's not enough boundary support to provide easy distinction between the various fields of information, and the run-together color matching of the studio and the video make it appear as if it should be one long link. Something to distinguish the two, even a little, would be useful (eg: somewhat different colors).
